New Pics!

One of Pelhourino's many street blocos.  After our Mario/Bloco Intensive this music made a lot more sense
Broomfield shedding on our new pandeiro... Scheherazade! (old habits die hard)

World Famous Afro-Bloco, Ile Aiye, showing us how to throw a block party! ... or "Bloc" party?... 


World Famous Afoxe Group, Filhos de Gandhy ALSO showing us how to party!


The man, the myth, the sit-in legend... Gabby Globus

OM NOM NOM NOM...

"15minute break" during our last marathon lesson = Brasilian BBQ! (That's Gabe's food on the far left...)

Broomfield needs some help before our early morning marathon lesson with Mario

Actor portraying the Orixa Xango.  Xango is a king who is always seen with his symbolic axe and red garments

Shot with Ile Aiye maestros Mario and Gato.  This was right before Mario gave us a final exam on all the rhythms we learned.

This is us after our final exam.  I guess you can imagine how it went....
